Making the DAM connection: Keep Your Options Open

One the core values of a Digital Asset Management system is, of course, the concept of connecting people to shared data (video/images/graphics/metadata) in a fast and easy way. It is important to think further about the idea of sharing data, and realize that no matter how thorough your DAM might be in ingesting, archiving and delivering material, at some point the content inside of a DAM has to connect with a system outside if itself.

Innovation and Inspiration at NAB

While walking the show floor last week at NAB (http://www.nabshow.com/2012/default.asp) it seems like just about every solution provider on the show floor is now offering a Digital Asset Management solution. But on further investigation, what some of them are really offering is not so much of a DAM solution as a file store solution… not the real deal in my opinion. I don’t think they truly understand the complexities of DAM. However, for some of the DAM solution providers who were present at NAB, it was good to see them pushing the limits of their solution and adapting to the shift in how we create, interact and leverage content and deliver content. I did take note of your progress! Though time is always so limited at here are some interesting innovations and inspiration from some solution providers who I was able to connect with.

Gamification in a DAM system?

If anyone has implemented a DAM solution, they know first hand how difficult it may be to get end users to buy-in, contribute and utilize the fancy new solution. Sure they may know that is it good for them, but there is just no incentive for them personally. DAM isn’t traditionally thought of as a “fun”� experience but if there is a way to make it more entertaining by adding a gaming context I think end users would embrace the buy-in much quicker and be excited about utilizing their DAM.
